Schedule VisitWhat Is an Athletic Mouthguard?
An athletic mouthguard, also called a sports mouthguard or custom mouth protector, is a protective device worn over the teeth during physical activity. A properly fitted mouthguard creates a cushioning barrier that can help protect against chipped or broken teeth, cuts to the lips and cheeks, and other dental injuries caused by contact or impact.
We provide custom mouthguards for children, teens, adults, student athletes, and recreational athletes. A custom mouthguard can be especially helpful for patients who participate in contact sports or activities where falls, collisions, or impacts to the face are possible and for patients who find one-size mouthguards too bulky or uncomfortable.
Custom Mouthguards vs. Store-Bought Mouthguards
Store-bought mouthguards are designed to fit a wide range of mouths, so they may feel loose, bulky, or uncomfortable. They can also make it more difficult to speak or breathe comfortably. A custom sports mouthguard is made specifically for your mouth. Because it is professionally fitted, a custom mouthguard can provide a more secure and comfortable fit while allowing you to focus on your activity.
A custom fit may also make athletes more likely to wear their mouthguard consistently. For children and teens, proper fit is particularly important as their mouths change and permanent teeth continue to develop.
Getting a Custom Athletic Mouthguard in Shoreline
Getting a custom mouthguard begins with an appointment at our Shoreline dental office. We will evaluate your teeth and discuss the sports or activities you participate in. We then take impressions of your mouth to create a mouthguard designed for your individual smile. Once it is ready, we will check the fit and make sure it feels comfortable and secure.
For athletes in Shoreline, North Seattle, Edmonds, Lake Forest Park, Mountlake Terrace, Kenmore, Richmond Beach, and Lynnwood, a custom athletic mouthguard can be an important part of sports dental injury prevention.
